Hi Everyone!
I hope that your Christmas was Merry and you had a great time! I know that this last week, so much has actually happened! I don’t have a lot of time to write today, so I will try to fit as much as I can into it.
On Tuesday, we went up to the zone leaders apartment to prepare for the Christmas Zone conference. Then on Wednesday was the Christmas zone conference, and that was so much fun! There were fun games that we played and the entire mission was there, so there were a lot of people lol. After the fun and games and food, there was a nice Christmas Devotional, and that was super sweet! 🙂
Thursday, we had district council, and that was good. And then we got to go to waffle house afterwards. And for the second time that I’ve been to a waffle house, and they are good! 🙂
We then drove back to our apartment in Americus, and that is always quite a trek lol. Friday, we had a lesson, but it was pretty chill.
Then Saturday, it was Christmas! It was a really nice day because it was also super low key. We got to call home which was really nice, and then there is a family in our branch that let us come over and they are just the nicest people.
Then Yesterday (sunday), we had one of our friends come to Church, and it was so good to see them!!
I have been trying to get back to everyone with personal emails, and hope that I’ve gotten to everyone! If I haven’t, shoot me an email saying “I’m waitinggggg” and I will get back to you next week ;).
Thank you for everyone that has emailed me and/or sent me stuff! I really appreciate it soooo much!!! I love you all, and do truly hope you’ve had a great Christmas!
My Scriptrue for today is Helaman 14, which is where Samuel the Lamanite prophesies of Jesus Christ’s birth. That is the true meaning of Christmas! 🙂 I know that the holidays can be so hectic and busy, but in all reality, as long as we are focused on Jesus Christ, then it is a successful holiday season! 🙂 I invite everyone to take the Christmas Spirit of giving Into the new year. Try and make it a new years resolution to brighten people’s days. Keep this resolution too! Write it on a paper and hang it on your fridge. Put it in your journal. Hang it on the mirror. As you remember this spirit of giving and love, you will be happier, and will be able to see the blessings flow into your lives! 🙂
I love you all, and wish you a very Happy New Year!
